Minnesota lias 15 State farms, compris¬ 
ing 51.000 acres, which last year yielded 
$200.377..‘18 income. All the vegetables, 
fruit and some of the meat required to 
feed the 10.000 State wards were sup¬ 
plied from these farms. 
Farmers in Western Canada are not 
satisfied with trying to make two blades 
of grass grow where one grew before. 
They intend to take care of that one blade 
of grass and not shake off too many heads 
and leaves to be wasted. The Grain 
Growers’ Company, with headquarters at 
Winnipeg was organized to handle and 
sell grain on a large co-operative scale. 
If has 15,000 shareholders, and has just 
mailed dividends amounting to $76,076, 
and also passed $60,000 of its profits to a 
reserve fund. All through that country, 
which is purely agricultural, farmers pre¬ 
dominate. and their business is the dom¬ 
inating one. They are organizing pack¬ 
ing plants, elevators, slaughter-houses, 
buildings for cold storage, and in fact all 
the necessary things for conducting their 
business and ns they, by reason of their 
number and business, control the situa¬ 
tion. they are succeeding with these 
things. 
There is plenty of farm help in this 
section this year, as there is no other 
business; everything at a standstill. 
Wages about 20*% lower than usual. 
Zena, N. Y. L. L. s. 
April 12. In this section farmers are 
just commencing Spring plowing. Fine 
early Spring weather last week, but to¬ 
day there is a cold, raw, strong March 
wind blowing from the northwest. 
Monroe Co., N. Y. T. E. M. 
April 12. Tn this section native cows 
have lately sold from $20 to $50, the low¬ 
est priced quite poor, and probably used 
for “eanners.” We received 25114c per 
pound for butterfat last month. Not 
much butter made by farmers near here. 
The best is quickly taken at 30 cents by 
private parties. Fork 10 cents per pound, 
beef the same. Veal calves 8c, live 
weight. Eggs 20; maple syrup $1 per 
gal., that boiled in open kettle or pan 
having the preference. Hay $14 to $18, 
according to quality. Oats 50. Most 
farmers raised enough potatoes for home 
use. Potatoes can be bought at the stores 
for 50 cents a bushel; nearly all fruit 
sold last Fall. s. w. c. 
Wright, N. Y. 
April 12. The Winter of 1914-15 in 
Nebraska has finally come to an end. In 
length of time, depth of snow, and gen¬ 
eral discomfort this has been a record 
breaker. From first to last there were 
four months of steady Winter. The 
snowfall amounted to 63 inches at this 
point, 33 inches having fallen in one 
week in March, coming on top of several 
inches of mud. This snow all melted 
without rain, mostly without sunshine. 
There were very few fair days during 
the month of March. There being no 
frost in the ground, the water from the 
melting snow all went into the ground, 
soaking down several feet. The snow 
finally disappeared since April 1. Up to 
this date no farm work has been done, 
(tats ought to be sown here April 1. 
However, if there is no backset the crop 
will be seeded the coming week. Wheat 
has come out in splendid shape, and is 
growing rapidly. There seems to be no 
obstacle in the way of bumper crop un¬ 
less Hessian fiy appears numerous enough 
to cause damage. The fiy did consider¬ 
able damage in this territory last year 
over an extent 200 miles long and 100 
miles wide, so we have reason to fear 
its ravages this season. Foot and mouth 
disease has not appeared in Nebraska up 
to date. Hog cholera we have always 
with us, and this season is no exception. 
Prices for produce are: Wheat $1.25; 
corn 75; oats 42; Alfalfa and wild hay 
$100 tier ton: potatoes, retail, 90 to 
$1.10 for Rod River stock. Cattle, yearl¬ 
ing. $25 to $30; cows $40 to $75; week- 
old calves $10, not veals; fat hogs $6 to 
$6.25 per hundred. Horses have not 
changed in price. Such animals as are 
taken by buyers for the European arm¬ 
ies. bring nearly a uniform price of $165. 
Others bring up to $200 for good draft 
animals. Butter 20; eggs 16; chickens 
10. n. M. K. 
Fairbury, Nebr. 
April 16. Wheat, red No. 2. $1.40;

to $8. Butter 22; eggs 17; potatoes 25.

April 16. This is a dairy section, not 
much fruit or garden produce grown. 
Nearly all milk goes to the creamery 
which is netting about 30 cents per 
pound for butterfat. with skim-milk back. 
Cows are selling from $50 to $75, not 
much call at present; hay from $10 to 
$13 per ton. Eggs 18; loading potatoes 
now at 30 cents per bushel. s. a. w. 
Alba, Pa. 
April 19. In this section we are in¬ 
terested mostly in fruit, beans and wheat. 
I have quite a large flock of hens, and 
the eggs are worth from 16 to 18 cents 
per dozen. Butter 18 to 20; potatoes 30 
to 35; wheat $1.35; cabbage about $20 
on track; apples $2 or a trifle better; 
milch cows at sales $50, $60, $80, $85; 
anv good horse $200 or better. E. 8. 
Kent. N. Y. 
April 20. Farmers in this locality 
claim less than half an average crop of 
maple sugar, cut prices are not much in 
advance of other and more productive 
years. Syrup ranges from $1 to $1.25 
per gallon and sugar in pails 12 to 20 
cents per pound; fancy cakes 25 to 35 
cents. A. W. F.

April 151. Wheat at elevator here from
